The reliability oJ' identzfying 1'-bodies in hair sheath cells has been examined by two blind trials and two operators. Ninety percent of hairs from males showed a Y-cell index greater than 25% whereas all hairs from females had a Y-cell index of less than 20%.

A simplified method is described to demonstrate Y chromosome fluorescence in interphase nuclei of epithelial cells in human buccal smears using Quinacrine Mustard. This technique turned out to be efficient in our hands and would be of value in determining the sex chromosomes in the epithelial cells
Conventional Xand Y-chromatin and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis based on Xand Y-chromosome specific probes were conducted from buccal smear, on 15 normal males, 15 normal females, and 9 cases suspected of sex chromosome anomalies. The proportion of Xand Y-chromatin in normal fema
